Welcome

Welcome to the Night Skate

You need no invitation to join us, just show up! Watch our Facebook page for more info about the Night Skate!

The route is not fixed, and the skate is open to all levels of skaters. We have never lost a skater, and we leave no one behind.

What?

What is a Group Skate?

Seriously?

Well it's this thing where a bunch of idiots with roller skates get together and go skate around. Generally speaking it's just a good-time, but it's also a great excuse to get out of the house.

Why?

Why Do We Skate?

Reason for showing up vary. Meeting new friends, getting some fresh air, getting a workout, training for a race, not training for anything, got nothing else to do, just visiting, you know... pretty much anything can be a reason to go skate!

Where?

Where Do We Skate?

Generally speaking, we skate around downtown. Mostly we skate in the streets and sidewalks, but we often wind up in parking garages, parking lots, parks, skate parks and other parky-type places (like the LARP and the AroyoSeco Path). We skate up and down hills. We skate through stores. Sometimes we even skate on the dirt.

Simply put, we skate every-damn-where.

When?

When Do We Skate?

We meet every week on Tuesday night around 7:45pm, and We Skate At 8! Truth be told, we actually NEVER roll out until 8:08pm, and once in a while we'll wait on somebody, but we like to start on time.

How Far?

How Far Do We Skate?

The longest stakes we've done are less than 20 miles, and the average is 11-13 miles. We occassionally skate much less distance than that, especially if we get involved with something fun like a good parking garage or a really hot bartender.

How Long?

How Long Do We Skate?

We're usually done by 10pm, although sometimes we do not finish until 10:30 or 11pm. We rarely skate more than two hours; being late is usually because we took the train to or from somewhere.

We have gone straight to the bar and done no skating at all, but only a few times... as far as any of you know.

the knot

The 5th Tuesday of any month we will visit other areas of LA, check the Facebook page for details.

Take Metro to Downtown!

Everybody likes driving, but nobody likes traffic. We always end near Metro rail stops and finish long before the trains stop running, so why not? Go ahead, try it out!.

Central Location

DTLA is the literal center of LA and it's our city's fastest growing area. We cover all of downtown, and there's no better way to see it than on skates!

Downtown Los Angeles is for Everybody!

We're as close as we can be to as many people as possible. There are over 10 million people within 50 miles of DLTA.

Bring the right gear!

This is an adult skate for good skaters. You don't need to be great, but you should be good. You want wheels in the 80mm or up range, you want pads to make you comfortable and most of all, bring some lights!!!

Rain or Shine

We never close! OK, we do cancel once in a blue moon, but we average 50 skates per year. If we do cancel it'll be on the Facebook page at least 2 hours before the start, so if you're unsure, check out our Facebook page!

Find some new friends!

We're here to have fun, meet people, and waste time, in pretty much that order. We ask that everybody shows up on time ('cause some folks have to work Wednesdays) but other than that, we're just looking for a good time.
